Congress calls for action over video of ‘Narendra Tomar’s son discussing money transactions’

A clip purportedly showing Devendra Pratap Singh Tomar, son of Union Minister and BJP candidate from Dimani Assembly seat Narendra Singh Tomar, discussing “transactions worth crores of rupees” in a video call went viral in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, leading to strong criticism from the Opposition Congress party.

Addressing an election rally in Dhar district on Monday, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, “A video of India’s Agriculture Minister’s son came up yesterday. You must have seen him talking about thousands of crores.”

The 6.20-minute-long clip, purportedly shows Mr. Devendra in a video call with another man talking about “channeling” thousands of crores of funds through a middleman. The two can also be heard discussing a few bank accounts.
